Visiting the Upcountry
Farmers Market is a way to experience the sheer joy of having a garden or farm
without all the work! It’s like drinking
a jolt of green wake up juice that gives you a gentle but firm energy boost. All
this green growing energy runs through your veins and arteries and you feel wonderfully
alive, like a young plant shooting up to greet the morning sun.

Yup, it’s early, so if you
like to sleep in late, this is probably not your farmers market. But if you can
get there by 7 am, you bright-eyed, bushy-tailed early bird you, then you’re in
for a treat. Warning: If you get there past 8 am, there’s the risk that some of
the goodies are sold out. For the best selection, get there at 7 or even
before. You can grin at all the late comers with the satisfaction that you got
to see the market in its full glory. If you get there later, don’t despair. The
market has become so good and popular that many booths are still open at 9 am
or so.

Amazingly,
the sun is shining at this very moment and the rain has paused. But the last
few days have been a bit crazy on Maui (and the rest of Hawaii) as local
residents and visitors prepare for a double whammy hurricane. Is it the zombie
hurricane apocalypse, or is it just a lot of rain coming our way? (Make sure to click on the blue rectangle "Read Next Page" at the bottom to see cartoons by parody account @tropstormiselle.)
